LSR strategy Qs

Hello out there in counter land...

So I'm off soon to LV for the 1st time. Planning to do a lot of gawking and touristy oohs and aahs, spread my pitiful reds in the downtown SD joints, and wong my way into some positive shoes on the strip.

The first two I can handle (SD is what I learned on), but I'm new to the whole LV 6deckers thing. I looked up the 4 BS LSR changes, and saw some posts on the Fab4 LSR variations. They said:

14 vs 10 surr. at 3
15 vs 9 surr. at 2
15 vs 10 surr. at 0
15 vs A surr. at 1

My Qs are: (1) is this right? (2) does this mean surr when the count is at or ABOVE or BELOW this number? I assume above, since the numbers make sense that way, but just want to make sure.

Any other advice for a counter new to LV 6deck rules? Recommend a good place w/ $5 mins to start out?

Thanks,

Running Count

p.s. Thanks to Mgmt for editing my previous (too much info) post. I'm registered, now!

The 15 vs. A and 14 vs. A numbers vary whether the game is H17 or S17, and knowing the numbers for both is important. The numbers look close enough. Remember though to always surrender 16 vs. T, A, and 16 vs. 9 at 0.

Play two hands if possible. Spread like a fiend if you are playing all, but don't overbet your bankroll. I think you said your max bet is $25, in which case you need to leave tables that have a negative count.

>Recommend a good place w/ $5 mins to start out?

The MGM has lots of playable $5 games, decent games can be found at many other places on the strip, Flamingo also has $5 games later in the day. Downtown, the Golden Nugget has $5 games with LSR.

Hi Mayor, glad to see you still have time to participate here.
In your above post you recommend playing two hands in shoe games. I think I understand the benefits of this when you have an advantage, but are you saying that it is good strategy off the top when you are at a disadvantage?
What about the case where the rules say you have to bet twice the minimum on each if you play two spots?
